&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dharchula Legislative Assembly constituency&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is one of the seventy electoral [[Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly]] constituencies of [[Uttarakhand]] state in [[India]]. It includes [[Dharchula]] area of [[Pithoragarh]] District.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=https://www.mapsofindia.com/assemblypolls/uttarakhand/dharchula-constituency.html |title=Dharchula Assembly Constituency Map, Dharchula Vidhan Sabha 2017 Previous Election Results |date=17 January 2012 |website=Maps Of India |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190803074048/https://www.mapsofindia.com/assemblypolls/uttarakhand/dharchula-constituency.html |archive-date=3 August 2019 |url-status=live |access-date=14 May 2022}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dharchula Legislative Assembly constituency is a part of [[Almora (Lok Sabha constituency)]]. Being a largely [[rural]] constituency, Dharchula carries a simulated partisan voting index of INC+2, identifying it as a resilient Congress stronghold within the otherwise competitive [[Pithoragarh district]]. While the seat frequently sees narrow margins, it consistently performs roughly 10 to 14 points better for the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC) than the Uttarakhand state average, even during significant statewide shifts toward the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP). The BJP has failed to ever win this seat to date, making it the only seat apart from [[Jaspur Assembly constituency|Jaspur]] in [[Kumaon division]] and [[Chakrata Assembly constituency|Chakrata]] as a hill constituency and one of the few in the state, to have never been won by the BJP.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.indiastatpublications.com/assembly_factbook/uttarakhand/almora/dharchula&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
